John - I am so very sorry for your loss of precious Elvis. It's clear you loved him so much! What a lucky pup he was, and what a beautiful life you must've given him...never forget how much love you gave to him. You blessed his life, and vice versa.
It's so devastating to lose a pet, I know, I've been there. To lose that innocent, unconditional and giving love is unimaginable. These sweetest creatures in life always leave us too soon, way too soon. The pain won't disappear, John, but I promise you it will get better each day....it will. Don't give up on believing that. Your grief honors your precious Elvis, without a doubt - but don't forget that Elvis loved you SO much and would want you to live a life of love, not pain. Keep putting one foot in front of the other for now, my friend. We are here for you and support you
